【新概念英语第二册4课文讲解】
1、I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim.
同位语：一个名词（或短语等）与另一个名词（或短语）并列而作为其说明或限定成分时称为同位语。同位语与它所补充说明的成分之间用逗号隔开。
在译成汉语时，同位语或者插入主句中，或者另译为一句，很少像英语中那样用逗号隔开。
This is John, one of my best friends.   这位是约翰。他是我最好的朋友之一。
Mrs. Smith, my neighbore, has never been abroad.   我的邻居史密斯夫人从来没有出过国。

2、He has been there for six months.
one month[]；two months[] 注意读音 将//省略
I have arrived in Beijing.   （arrive 是瞬间动词不能和段时间连用）
has been + in 地点
He has been in Beijing for one year.
He has been in America for tow years.

3、He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia.
work for   在……上班/任职，强调work
I am working for a school.
work in 强调地点（在哪个地方上班）　　
I am working in the New Oriental school.
work at  上班
 She works at a department store.

a number of后面一定要加可数名词复数；通常number前有great，large，good，small，certain等形容词，数量大小也随之改变。a great number of 类似于, 约等于a lot of；
A large/great number of our students are Danish.
There are a small number of spelling mistakes in your homework.
a lot of 可加可数名词也可加不可数名词
I have a lot of friends
I have a great number of friends.

4、He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice springs, a small town in the centre of Australia.
has gone to   去了某地没回来
has been to   曾经去过某地, 现在不在那个地方
Have you been to Paris?

5、From there, he will fly to Perth.
from there:从那地方起
from 即可以加时间又可以加地点
from half past 8 to half past 11
from Beijing to Tianjing
fly to Perth = go to Perth by air

6、My brother has never been abroad before, so he is fending this trip very exciting.
before在句子后是副词, 译为“在此之前”，是现在完成时态的标志
find作“发现”、“发觉”讲时宾语往往带补足语（一般为形容词），说明宾语的状况、性质等。
find +宾语+形容词做宾补　　　
find the room clean
find her happy
be finding在口语中经常使用 
I'm finding... . . We’re finding... ...

【新概念英语第二册4课后练习答案---多项选择题】
1. Only one of these statements is true. Which one?
a. The writer has been in Australia for six months.
b. Tim is a mechanic and he’s working in Australia.
c. Tim is working for an Austrian firm.
d. Tim is working for a big firm as an engineer.
选d
根据课文内容Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm…. 只有d. Tim is working for a big firm as an engineer 是对的，其他3个与文章不符合。

2. Only one of these statements is true. Which one?
a. Tim has been in Darwin for six months.
b. It’s the first time Tim has ever been to another country.
c. Perth is in the centre of Australia.
d. Tim’s brother has never been abroad before.
选b
根据课文的最后一句My brother has never been abroad before…，应该选b。其他3个选项都与课文内容不符合。

3. Tim is in Australia. He went ______ Australia six months ago.
a. to           b. in       c. at             d. into
选a
b. in（在……里面）不能和动词go连用；c. at（在……地方）也不能同go 连用；d.into（进入……内）可以与go连用，但是到某个国家不能用go into； 只有a. to 同动词go 连用go to才能表示到某个地方去，如国家，城市等，所以选a.

4. Tim is in Australia. How long ______ there?
a. is he      b. has he been   c. has he       d. was he
选b
本句是问“他在那儿呆了多久”。因为说话时他还在那，所以应该用现在完成时态。a. is he 是一般现在时；c. has he 中没有过去分词been, 不符合语法；d. was he是一般过去时；只有b.has he been 是现在完成时, 所以选b.
5. Tim has been in Australia for six months. His brother hasn’t seen him ______ January.
a. for        b. since              c. from           d. by
选b
a. for 只有同表示一段时间的词连用时候才能用在完成时中，如for six months，for one year等。c. from 常与介词to连用表示“从……到……”，它很少用于现在完成时；d. by 可以表示时间“到……为止”，常用于过去完成时中和将来完成时中，但是它用在本句意思不对；只有b.since（从……以来）可以用在完成时态中，选b.才能使句子的时态和意思正确并且合乎逻辑。

6. He has just bought an Australia car. He bought one ______ .
a. a short time ago     b. a long time ago     c. last year     d. six months ago
选 a
本句的意思是“他刚刚买了一辆澳大利亚小汽车”强调买的时间短，用just来表示。b. a long time ago（很久以前）与原来句子不符合。c. last year（去年）也跟原来句子不符合。d. six months ago（6个月前）也不对，句子中没有明确说明；只有a. a short time ago（不久前，最近）同just的意思相近，所以应该选a。
